No Second Beta for Windows 7Microsoft has confirmed that there will not be a second beta of their upcoming Windows 7 operating system. The next test version will be the release candidate (RC), which will be near-final and almost fully-featured as the final release version. The Windows engineering head Steven Sinofsky announced that Microsoft is planning on sticking to their original plans for just having one beta, which was released earlier this January. "The next milestone for the development of Windows 7 is the Release Candidate or 'RC,'" Sinofsky wrote. "Historically the Release Candidate has signaled 'we're pretty close and we want people to start testing the release, especially because all the features are done."Users have until February 10th to download the latest beta of Windows 7, which is pretty much fully-featured and as stable as the final version of Windows 7 will be when Microsoft releases it. Microsoft hasn't announced when the RC, or the final release, will be available. However, it is speculated that Microsoft is aiming to release the final version of Windows 7 by the 2009 holiday shopping season.Read our full review of the Windows 7 beta right here at TechReviewSource.com.  (#mce_temp_url#)
